The fedora is one of the most recognizable accessories of Michael Jackson, who often wore it on stage and in music videos. It was also part of his signature moonwalk dance move, which he debuted at the Motown 25th show to the astonishment of millions of viewers. The hat has his name written on the inside and comes with a letter of authenticity from his former manager.
The auction house, Artcurial, estimates that the fedora could fetch between 10,000 and 20,000 euros ($11,800 and $23,600).
